It really did.

FYI, ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machines.

And before that “Acorn RISC Machines”.

We had Acorn Archimedes systems at school that ran RISC OS.

It actually did, but not in a way people expected at the time that movie was made. It changed a lot underneath the hood.

For a firm that already have their own core designs that simply use the ARM instruction set, it might be easier to adapt to RISC-V. For a firm that licenses ARM cores on the other hand…
